Get matched with top contractors in Claymont, DE

"It was done in the promised amount of time of 4 weeks. There was a bit of a delay with the township. The workers did outstanding work, the decks they have done in my neighborhood are by far the most beautiful. Everything I requested at the beginning was honored and they came up with a few additional great ideas. I requested that the price not change and it did not. My son was having a deck done at the same time and took pictures so his contractor would model his after my deck. I am very pleased with the outcome and would use them again."

"We finally found the right contractor! We had 3 projects involving the basement, Master bath and front porch. Martin and his team are very skilled. The work is high quality, efficient and done correctly. Estimates are provided in writing in advance of the job. Martin is often onsite - either doing the work himself or supervising and guiding his team. He communicates well and often and he stands behind his work. We had a small issue in the Master Bath with the painting on the ceiling. He came immediately to inspect it, figured out the issue and had his team redo the ceiling paint. It's now perfect. He is also strategic in making suggestions and giving creative ideas on how to approach the job in ways we had not thought of ourselves. I highly recommend Martin's Home Improvements."

"Jim was great to work with from start to finish. We did an entire interior remodel on an older home. Jim made great suggestions along the way, and designed everything using software that he shared with us, enabling us to see exactly how the layout would work, before starting anything. Despite doing the project during all the 2020 supply chain disruptions with materials, Jim finished on time. The quality was unbelievable. If you want an honest contractor with integrity and a ton of experience, Jim is your guy. His price was more than reasonable. Hands down, the best contractor I have ever worked with, and I have worked with a lot!"

"Guy and his team were amazing and professional. Guy was able to recommend solutions to resolve ongoing water problems in the basement, completed the install and finished the basement. It has added significant square footage and value to our home. Additionally, he completely remodeled the kitchen and was able to suggest small but important finishing details the really brought the project together. The kitchen is transformed and is a gathering spot for the whole family. Guy has also helped us out with smaller odds and ends including installing new outlets and breakers, repairing drywall, and smaller paint jobs. I would recommend Guy and his team over and over again!"

"Tom from TAF was first to respond from the contractors you suggested. Came and inspected area the next week and emailed me proposal next day. More detailed work than I expected but work nevertheless needed done. Price very reasonable and hope to reach out again if/when I can fit into budget."

"Kitchen back splash was completed in a professional and timely manner. Contractor was knowledgeable and considerate. He kept the work area clean and the job came out great. Would hire again."

"We got three estimates for the job, which were all in the same ball park. Based on their angie's list rating and a good experience of a friend, we picked Fine Painters. From the beginning I really clicked with Vivaldo, our sales guy. He was friendly and easy going. I'm not much of a phone person, so I was very happy that he was so responsive to email (unlike a lot of contractors). The two guys on the crew were great: friendly and professional. They did an amazing job. We can't get over how good the place now looks (much better than the old crappy paint job). I was also impressed that the crew cleaned up so thoroughly after the job was finished. We are already planning to use them again for the rest of the house."

"Ronda came to us through our general contractor. She assisted us in selecting our cabinets, counter tops, hardware and tile. She met with us multiple times at our house to work through the cabinet design. And we met with her multiple times at her studio and the tile shop to select our counter top and tile. Always ready to help, she is knowledgeable and has innate design ability. More than that, she can explain her design choices, yet is willing to discuss alternatives and work through the design process in a collaborative manner, bringing many ideas to the table – or kitchen, as it were. She listens to her clients and was able to translate our ideas into a comprehensive design. Throughout the process Ronda worked with our contractor and with us to make certain everything came together as planned. While there were a number of minor snafus, she was always there to make certain issues were resolved and to keep the job moving ahead. Cabinets and counter tops are a significant portion of the remolding cost. Cabinet manufactures are not all that interested in dealing directly with the customer. Rather, they work through their distributors. We purchased our cabinets through Ronda who has a strong working relationship with the manufactures she deals with and can easily work out issues. Thank you Ronda for a wonderful new kitchen!"

"To put it simply I will use Joseph Sullivan for any and all painting and dry waling that I ever do in the future. I work with contractors regularly and have never worked with a better contractor. His crew were all extremely professional and sincerely cared about my house and the job they did. They all went above and beyond in all facets of the job. It was a huge job, probably the biggest job he ever did and Joe was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the job. In fact the job is still going on. By the time he is done he will have been 4 months full time and another 2 months on and off as I am finishing up the project. His attention to detail is exemplary. You of course are free to use whomever you wish but if I were you I'd hire Joseph Sullivan Painting it will be the most pain free contractor and painting experience you will ever have."

"Jim and his guys were absolutely great to work with...  I've never had the privilege of working with a contractor that was so punctual and knowledgeable before.
Throughout the entire project, Jim and his crew (2-5 guys depending on what was being done on a specific day) were punctual... showing up at 7AM every day.  They always responded to phones calls, texts and emails without fail.  Saying these guys are good communicators is an understatement and I am glad that I have found "my contractor."
They started with the messiest project first, of course... the ceiling. Scraping, sanding, skimming multiple times to bring my 80s ceiling into the current century.  The texture had been painted over so many times in the past but this group made quick work of it.  They covered everything in plastic to protect furniture that I couldn't remove in advance and cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day.  In the first couple of days they focused on getting as much done to the ceiling as possible before hitting a point where they just had to wait for things to dry.
Once the ceiling dry time gate was gone, they really began spending full days at my home to ensure they stuck to their projected schedule (and to help ensure I had my home available for some pre-planned social events).
They pulled up carpet, began laying flooring, preparing for the walls to be painted and baseboard to be replaced.  Their attention to detail was great... picking up on things that needed to be done that my wife and I hadn't necessarily noticed and clearly taking pride in their work.  They continued to be very communicative, letting us know what was happening, what the plans were for a given day, etc etc.
There were never any "surprise issues" that they tried to charge me for... actually, any time they found anything or we had small requests or tweaks they handled it without issue and seemed to hold getting the job done right and making us happy above anything else.
I cannot stress enough how much I've come to trust these guys in the last 2 weeks... knowing all of them by name and getting to know their personalities.  These are good guys.  They didn't make us feel like we were in the way or a bother if we had questions or wanted to see something.
They also took a lot of care to minimize the impact on our daily life.  The work was mostly done in our living and dining room (in addition to stairways, hallways, etc) so some impact is unavoidable.  For example, when the flooring wasn't 100% complete, they laid flooring in the primary walking path from our front door so that we had flooring to walk on (instead of the concrete below).  There were a lot of small things like that, where the Hunt group really just went out of their way to make the renovation a pleasant experience for us.
The flooring was put down, baseboard, and the walls got painted... all in all the project stuck to it's 1.5 week estimate.  We were walked through all the work multiple times to ensure we were happy and address any questions/concerns/etc.
It really turned out great, we are so thrilled with the way our home has been transformed.
After the work was officially completed and I shook everyone's hand for what I thought was the final time on this project... they stepped up once again to help me.  We had another group out to do some electrical work and run wiring for a new home theater and they created some holes in the walls.  Well, I sent Jim a text message that evening and asked if he could help me.  Not only did he come out the next morning to get the holes fixed for me, he didn't even charge me for it.  He really wanted us to be happy with the result of all of the work that had been done.
In summary, I really feel very thankful to have met Jim through Angie's List.  We had a lot of past experiences with contractors, good and bad... but I am glad that I have found "our guy."  He takes a lot of pride in his teams work and takes a genuine interest in the way his customer feels at the end of the project.
Really great experience... Jim and I are already talking about the rest of our short and long term "home project list."
